Artists

“By playing and working with actual influences within the given medium, there are no transformation or translation losses by using the semantic codes and syntax. The mix of technology, informational society, contemporary culture, drugs and digital urban lifestyle create new patterns of understanding and acceptance by vibrating within the same frequency and by increased speed of communication. New Media Art is super contemporary art within super contemporary media, digitally transformed and hidden within a classical media output (painting, sculpture, etc.). Media Art and New Media Art differ in 2 aspects: the application of new technology and the fact that superficial media power is reaching enormous levels and hitting very high frequency in our new media time zone and dimension. People want to know everything, everywhere, and within milliseconds. The means to reach this very goal are fresh - sometimes even modernistic - most of the time the material outcome is less challenging than the formal result. New Media Art pieces appeal to the user not just by content and surface - a piece will extend its content nodes into various directions so the users from different fields of interest and located in ever-changing time dimensions can dock onto the core of the piece and suck bits of data (partiality). As an example, UBERMORGEN.COM’s Psych|OS series appeals to video collectors, lovers of the mentally specialized artists, to drug-connoisseurs and to fans of the scripted art work. The primary appeal of New Media Art is the speculation about potentiality. Within evolution concrete objects are formed, artistic material as part of the digital evolution without being part of the general evolution, therefore it is sclerotic. Only the framework of evolution in the sense of deployment but contradicted with the new instant creation triggers critical mass. Here we can observe and exploit near religious experiences, monetary greed and fatal forms of attraction.
